You cannot imagine how much I giggled over the Orkney boys.

there's always the birrus britannicus... this wonderful hooded cloak which is apparently typical of Romano-British dress. This figure is Lleu, I reckon (he is wearing this cloak during the last chapters of the book)

oh cool! any artistic resources you have, definitely send them over! Particularly if you have any Ethiopian sources you like. In my movie, some of Medraut's costumes would reflect his time in Africa (plus his pageant jewelry of course).

I think I'll probably concentrate on the siblings, plus Medraut and Morgause. I might throw in an Artos/Ginevra. I'm particularly excited about the "coronation" (for lack of a better term) and pageant costumes, of course. I'm gonna treat the book as my script and take any textual clues you gave, and pick some of the most important looks! I'll take a look at your illustrations too :-D

woohoo! I can't wait till my schoolwork is done LOL

I wish I had the heart to tell you to GET A LIFE. But I haven't. (More a case of, "Physician, heal thyself.")

some random links:

I think you'll find the original source is actually rather vague on detail... "dressed simply and bearing no weapons" doesn't actually tell you anything...
